ONE MONTH BAJA TRIP : A Surf Travel Adventure
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 06. 2024
- A one month Baja trip full of surf and adventure. We travel in search of remote surfing and camping spots along the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, often leaving highway 1 to explore 4x4 tracks in hopes of finding empty waves. In addition to an epic run of swell, we encounter coyotes, grey whales, dolphins, and sea lions while experiencing the wilds of Baja.

Gorgeous filming. Fun to see Matt surfing! And how exciting to touch a whale !! Happy for you two making this happen for yourselves!!
Thank you so very much for not disclosing spots! Baja is not a place, but a state of mind… which you’ve figured out. -wookie
Baja is where I got hooked on surf travel 25 years ago and it continues to be one of my favorite places to explore. 🤙
That first spot wow!
This video is AMAZING !!!!!!! The surf,the food,the scenery, and to top it off, touching that whale !!!!!! You two are blessed to have such a trip !!!!
An excellent Baja trip for sure.
Glad you enjoyed it
I did a baja road trip with my high school sweet heart 25 years ago. I'm happy to see there are still plenty of areas that are unspoiled by development.
Great video :)
Nice
First time I surfed in Baja was around 25 years ago too. It's more developed than it used to be (of course) but if you make an effort and take a chance you can still find yourself alone on a beautiful beach🤙
The amount of work that has gone into this channel is incredible. I'm a huge fan of you guys, and constantly gaining inspiration from you two
Thanks Brendon
You guys scored! Waves and whales! Thanks for taking us along!
Such a fun trip!
Good job keeping all the spots secret ;) I’m planning a trip for a month here soon and am happy y’all failed to mention the name of each wave. Stoked to explore the spots I’ve been quietly exposed to for my first Baja trip
The adventure and exploration is what makes a Baja surf trip so special. Have fun!
Pretty rare for someone to keep their pie hole shut these days, good on ya!
The thing I love about surfers is how unwelcoming they are. 4Q
You're living the dream!😁🤙
This was a fantastic Video . Thank you for happy feeling it brought to me . Stay healthy and safe you two .
What a trip! Thanks for sharing.
One of your best documentaries and I don't even surf.
Probably the best overland video ever made
wow! thanks. that's really nice of you to say
I agree!
WOW, Mat this is an epic surf video. Amy and the pups we always love seeing you as well.
Same here!,, I’ve followed you guys for the longest!! Some how or another, I lost you... I started my U Tube experience following you guys. And then today Saturday I spotted this post and recognize the blue truck. Good to see you again, TC fromNevada
Thanks Thomas. Glad you re-found us😁
Glad to see you on CZcams again, hope to hear about the new pups ❤️
I did many a Baja Trips back in the 80's when it was reasonably safe. But now it's a gamble just too dangerous with the Cartel in Control and all the Methheads!
Yes keep telling people that! It keeps the breaks empty and the magic flowing down here 😏
Wow, looks like you scored really good empty waves the entire peninsula...thanks for sharing your adventure and not name dropping one single spot 😉
Amazing, Your vids just keep getting better! Thank you so much!
Thanks Cory
Dreamin of surfing Baja thanks to your videos. Great fun to watch guys. Thanks.
You guys' videos put such a smile on my face. Just something about good people enjoying their lives on their terms to the fullest. Its just awesome👍 Thanks as always for sharing a bit on You Tube!
I'm glad you've enjoyed it😊
Best couple and adventures on you tube, thanks!
Thanks😊
Quality waves with no one else around, now that is living.
That's what it's all about for me😁
That was truly magical, thanks for sharing.
The two of you are a real inspiration. I hope to venture in similar ways some day. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! They actually are the ones who inspired us to start our channel
thank you for sharing your adventures.
Great job. You guys are getting better at this. And scoring some great surf along the way.
Great ending & mello tunes🤙video captures the off beaten path vibe w/o announcing each spot thank you
Wow! What an awesome adventure!
What a trip!
Thank you for sharing!
What a great video yall
So epic
Ahhhh Mexico
The editing and good vibes in this video are insane 🙌 we love our fair share of adventure too, and this vid has been super inspiring!
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed it.
What a fun trip. That break at 538 is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing experience 😍
This makes me miss Mexico.. Awesome video!
Wow, what a good surfer and well made video!
Living the dream 🤙
What a blast!!! Great video.
Well done, inspirational
This really makes me want to go camping
Awesome video. Made me miss travelling in Mexico so much!
Great video. Thanks for making
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for not giving up the name of the spots. Too many newbies who post don’t understand surf etiquette.
Thanks for not asking 🤙
I just stumbled upon this video. I felt like I was traveling with you. In my younger days my buddies and I would pack up the 4x4 and just travel the Baja coast surfing and camping. I miss those days. Great video.
I started in my younger days too. I just can't get enough of Baja. 😁 I might be getting dust in my teeth, but I'm still smiling
Baja is magical, awesome trip!! I've think i've surfed 2 of those spots you hit!!!!
It's always a good time, but this was definitely one of the best runs of swell I've had down there🤙
Great style on each section.
Fun left, great video.
Amazing trip amigo..!
Awesome adventure good for you two. Bajabill
Thanks Bill
As good if not better than any other surf short I've ever seen thanks for the ride I've been there as far as shipwrecks
Thanks Timothy! It is an inspiring part of the world
Epic surfing footage. I’ve never surfed in my life, not many swells on the Canadian prairies, but I can appreciate skill and ability. I can see from this earlier video why you chose the Pacific side of Baja to build your home. Really glad that your channel turned up on my feed and, of course, I did subscribe.
Thanks. And welcome aboard
OMG the whales 🐋 were awesome. So happy for your adventures
thanks colt
You guys Rock!
Best CZcams channel I’ve come across.
Hopefully, see you down the road one day.
Love and Peace
Thanks Joshua!
Glad you've enjoyed the show
Bonito amigos!

Incredible waves. Thx for reminding me to do this trip one day!
🤙

Beautiful! I am just back from Mexico..needed your vid to bridge me to the next trip. Mis those street tacos!
Can't get enough TACOS!! 😂
Amazing video!! You’re RIPPING! Happy to see you snagged some good lefts down in Baja too
🤙
Necesito volver !! I love that place !
Hats off to wifey who filmed you surfing all month
She's the best 😁
Looks fun. Been years since my last Baja excursion.( Hopefully next fall) . Nice surfing, good tunes,and ceviche looked epic. New subscriber.
Baja in fall ❤️
Hope you have a great trip!
Nice left-hand surfing in the 2nd half!
Regards Fom Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Thanks Miguel
Awesome thanks never made a trip down there
Awesome, wish I knew how to surf!
Yeah dude you're a good surfer good waves there :0)
Good surfing.
Don’t always get notifications.
Was wondering were you all had been.
Awesome video. More soon. 🤙🏻
Thanks Charlie. You can always check to see if you missed anything by looking at the "videos" page on our channel: czcams.com/users/TheTravelingTogetherJournalvideos
What a great video and trip! Looks like you two had a dream vacation! Keep them coming, your surfing was so great also. The tacos looked really good and made me hungry. I better get some lunch now!🤙🇺🇸🌮😀
🌮😂
It was a great trip. I'm glad you enjoyed the show
OG’s🤙
Thanks for sharing! Pretty remarkable. This video reminds me that there are still really good/normal/talented/gemuine/real people in this world and some amazing spots. Stay wet and stoked....
Thanks for the kind words Jason
Like I said your spirit of adventure is amazing I wish I had the courage in the inclination
Good Video 😄😄😄
have a good day
Thank you for a great video ...I would love to visit the Baja peninsula one day
Its an awesome place!
epic adventure and really beautful video edtting
thank you
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice, drove down the length in 1986, 3 days at Salsipudes first Playa San Miguel, then 5 days down to Pescadero, stayed in a cabin for 2 1/2 months of some hommies from Santa Cruz, great solo time and weekends girls from all over camping at San Jose del Cabo, i was 70 clics North, then took very last ferry from Cabo to Puerto Vallarta, 30 hrs? on board was the CLASSIC Carl Franz
Very Cool! Sounds like a great adventure
I used to skateboard, been thinking about starting again... but you guys make me want to learn how to surf so bad! Thanks for sharing, you guys are awesome. Im gonna drive the Pan American Highway next year and you are one of the reasons that really helped me make that final decision to actually quit my job and take the leap! I hope to show you vids of me when Im surfing down there someday!
Wow. Have a great trip. We saw people skating in lots of the bigger cities and surf-beach towns. Could be a fun activity to do and meet people along the way
Amazing video, lost total track of time while watching 👍
thanks
damn matt rips!
You guys scored! Nice video
Thanks 👍
Well done and low key.
So far as surfing goes, quiet your arms
Looked fun 🤙
accurate assessment 😁
🌀 No lineup, no fussing and fighting for position, just free flowing, free riding and living with joy. 🌀
I dropped out of the rat race and into your movie and it was amazing !!!!
Thanks Sean. That's is exactly the effect I wanted this video to have😁
Dang you scored some amazing waves. Wish I knew where those places are! We are planning a trip to Scorpions Bay this August.
Yeah this was one of the best runs of swell I've had on a Baja trip.
Maybe we'll see you down there. we're going late July/early august
Nice vid! I was wondering when you were going to get some lefts - lol. Baja is truly still an adventure like the outback.
I'm always searching for any fun wave, but extra effort is put in for potential lefts around here 😂
Cheers
Pushing off shortly myself. Would love to get some of those nuggy wedges at 9:45. Looks so fun. Thanks for the sharing your journey.
Good luck Josh. Hope the south swells keep coming!
I remember in the eighties down there paddling out on my longboard with a fishing pole with a scampi. Got outside the surf zone and unhooked the lure and it dropped in the water and a 3 pound sand bass grabbed it before I could even cast it. Some amazing empty places.
that's a great story Jeff.
and those empty places are exactly what keeps me going back
Great production. I surfed the pt with all the vehicles parked beginning in 1981 in November. El Nino year. Low tide and offshore. Hopefully now with the popularity they built an outhouse.
That must have been a cool time to be exploring and surfing.
They do have outhouses now.
this is awesome stuff guys. i grew up doing this exact stuff with my pops. cruising desolate baja looking for waves with a camper onhis 2500 sierra. im based in the pnw now exploring for waves with my little tacoma with a pop up camper. gonna try to make a coastal run down to mex as soon as time and money allow. keep it up!
Thanks Grant.
I blame my dad for my surf and travel addictions too 😂
Amie insist it was child abuse when I tell her the stories, but those Baja trips have had a lasting positive impression on me
Hope your Mex trip comes together for you soon🤙
Admit it Matt the whale event was awesome! Hi guys cool Video Amiee (hope I spelled it right) . Nice surfing also 😎
Bye for now.
Russ
Thanks, Russ
Yes, the whales were awesome. Amie has dragged me to many cool places that I would have never gone on my own because it involved non-surfing-activities 😁 she helps me be a more well rounded, healthy, balanced person I'm told (by her) 😉
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal same for me sir. 😀
This is a really well done Amateur surf video!
thanks
As one of your very loyal Subs, i must admit , that this Vid was one of my top 10s favourites thus far. Matt, se nota que tu influencias del surf han Sido del Occy. Who shaped that board? It seems to open up for you when it gets a bit more poderosa.
Wow, thanks Dude. Occy has always been one of my favorite surfers. My boards are shaped by Brian A. Tudor on Oahu, Hawaii. I'm really happy with them.
In 92’ my soon to be married best buddy and I headed to Cabo for a month. We camped and surfed on the Pacific Side till Friday when we would head to the Dos Mares motel where you got an air conditioned room for $25. We’d clean up and hit the town only to return to camping on Sunday.
Sounds like a good time
Nice job! And you can surf! Brought back memories. First trip to tip was with dad in '78 with many more to follow. I'm stoked I didn't recognize a couple of the spots, thank you for not sharing locations. But I DO have one question...where did you get those outrageous tacos from?!!!
Nice. '78 would have been an adventurous drive down the peninsula. I don't think I made it all the way to Cabo until around '90. That was also with my dad. Lots of good memories and hopefully many more to come.
Tacos El Gallo, 3 doors down from Copal/ VP gas station in Vizcaino. It's become one of our favorites. The family that owns it is great and the dad is hilarious. I gotta warn you though, I was a little creative with the timeline in my editing to through any would be surf-detectives off my trail 😉
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal Ha! Love it. And Vizcaino. Awesome can't wait to go again. Thanks!
